General Orders No. 3.
The awakening of nature from her long sleep
reminds US of the near approach of Memorial Day,
when once more it becomes our sad, yet loving,
duty to assist the comrades of the Grand Army in
consecrating and perpetuat5ng the memory of our
heroic dead.
Every year their ranks grow thinner, and the
Roll OF Honor correspondingly large. Let us then,
with ready hands and willing hearts, render them
all possible assistance in this labor Of love.
Many OF our sisters, who in years past have
shared with us the sacred duties of Memorial Day,
have passed over to the 'other SIDE" and while
we bind the fragrant flowers, and Irvine the ever
green wreath with which the comrades deck each
hallowed mound, let us not forget to "scatter
sweet flowers DER the dead" of our order Place
above them our Memorial Flag, and as we lay
upon each grave our floral offerings, let us all
c0nsecrate ourselves anew to the nobleA work of
our order.
Corps Chaplains will immediately. after May
30th report to the State Chaplain Mrs. Frances
f. Speers. of East Stoneham how each Corps
observed Memorial Day.

A Seven Footed Lamb.

J. +. Wiley of Hope has natural curiosity
in the shape of lamb which has five legs
and seven feet. The fifth leg is between his
forward legs. and the two extra feet are on
one of his hind legs. 1t is alive and smart,
and if nothing happens to it perhaps it will
bring its owner quite good price.

WHOLE NO. SO6.

The whole of what IS called "the Church"
can boast of only about 100000 gathered
into her fold during the last three-quarters of
century, while the population of heathen-
dom alone has increased to 1, ,225, 100000.
1t is said
There is great zeal being awakened through
out christendOm for the conversion of the
world.
But is it not known that the zeal for the
spread Of everything that is ant-christian is in
proportion, or even greater? Take as an il
lustration the spread of Mormonsm or, what
is still better, Mohammedanism. In one of
their theological seminaries at Cairo Rev. DR..
Ellinwood writes that he saw more students
and more professors gathered there from day
to day preparing for their aggressive work all
over heathendom than in all the theological
schools in our land.
Speaking of the progress of the worlds con-
version under the preaching of the gospel
Canon Farrar says
The christian empire of Great Britain is
making 100 drunkardS in India to-day while
she is making convert to christianity.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
Va N'i' idSt tiltt tlle
great christian powers of Europe have by
their joint action in congress thrown open
the whole basin of the Congo to the whiskey
traffic. The conclusion is-if the effects of
that traffic are so preponderating here in a
christian land, what will they be there among
that 5O,OOO 600 of poor heather and savages
Now We revert to the question-if it will
take until the year 250O to convert the people
of the United States, as the good presiding
elder thinks, and judging from the past when
everything has been most favorable, what is
the prospect, either for our country or hea-
thendom, especially the latter, now that the
protesting christian body called 1.-The church, s"
has lost its power beyond the possibility of
recovery, because it has locked arms so tight
ly with the Christ-rejecting world?
If the Word of God be true, what is called
"the church" and the world are both getting
worse. The former has mistaken its work
concluding it to be the conversion of the
world, instead of bearing testimony to Christ
Ministers ard the people have become "op-
timists" " And Carlyle has well expressed it: ::
Optimism is the FOOLS way of looking at
things.
